English learning, an S Resort stay and island experiences, shared with family and friends.
The 13-day, 12-night program combines English lessons, an S Resort stay and included activities. Every child studies; parents choose to study or accompany. Children and studying parents have separately arranged lessons, with time together for meals, experiences and rest.
Each student receives 32 hours of 1 on 1 English and 4 hours of formal group classes across eight learning days.
We want a family English journey to make room for personal progress and memories together. Children have their own teacher and practice time, while parents choose the pace that suits them. After class, the same dinner table and island shore bring everyone back together to share what the day has taught them.
Teaching is central to the experience. We select teachers through a rigorous screening process and begin with an assessment to understand each learner’s level. Individual lessons give children and studying parents their own time with a teacher; group learning creates opportunities to use English with others. Our Program page explains how these parts work together.
Every child studies, while parents may choose English lessons or join as non-studying companions. Children attend their individual lessons and group classes without a parent needing to sit beside them. Parents who study have separately arranged lessons; some group activities may be shared where appropriate. Travelling as a family stays at the heart of the program.
El Nido gives the journey a setting beyond the classroom: island horizons, time on the water and evenings together. Two island days sit within the itinerary, with an Entalula visit. The aim is a balanced family experience, with space to explore as well as study. Weather and individual suitability still shape activity arrangements.
